Doing nothing without doing anything, doing something without doing it, comes from Laozi's Tao Te Ching.
Examples are as follows: For example, in a country, as long as the laws are sound and everyone abides by them, there is no need for any spirit to guide the people forward, and the law is the best criterion.

Inaction is an important concept in Tao Te Ching. The "inaction" advocated by Taoism is nothing more than Lao Zi's admonition to the monarch, not a universal moral code, which means that the monarch does not compete with the people for profit. There are twelve references to inaction in Tao Te Ching. The third chapter is called "inaction, no governance". There are sixty-eight references to inaction in the South China Classic. "Emperor Zhuangzi" said that "conform to the nature of things, there is no room for privacy".
The inaction of Taoism means that the monarch should not compete with the people for profits, conform to the people's feelings and not act rashly. Du Guangting's Notes on the Tao Te Ching said: "Doing nothing is great. Doing nothing doesn't mean attracting but not coming, pushing but not going, forcing but not answering, feeling but not moving, being trapped but not flowing, and sticking to it. It is said that his private ambition is not right, his lust is not white, he acts according to reason, and he makes meritorious deeds because of his capital. If he becomes famous, he will not cut his body, and his name will not be justified. "
It can be seen that the inaction of Taoism does not mean that the monarch does not want to do something, but only that the monarch should "conform to the weather and the people's heart" in everything, and does not want the monarch to violate "the weather, the land and the people's heart" and cannot act only on subjective wishes and imagination.
